If you've ever played bball you know what it's like to gaurd a post player who is stronger and bigger than you. Fronting the post is not a permenanet solution. If I were Jackson I would have ordered them to give the ball to Bynum every possession. Maybe Williams gets his hand on a pass or two or the ball sails over Bynums hands, but the rest of the time it's going to be an easy dunk or a foul on Sean.</p> </p></div> </p> Sean is the fastest (maybe faster?) Net since Kerry Kittles. I wouldn't add too much weight on those acrobatics of his, remember his landings are more important than his takeoffs.
Why are we hung up over weight? Two words... Chris Bosh.</p> He is still pretty lean to look at and it never really hurts his game. According to NBA.com, Sean is actually 5 pounds heavier...</p>

I know he switches to it once in awhile but that's how come he missed so many games his rookie year because he was banged around for 3 days then would have to take a break.</p>
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Dumpy)</div><div class='quotemain'></p> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ghoti)</div><div class='quotemain'></p> I think Boki is a legit 6'9", and Collins is 6' 11", so let's see how he looks compared to them.</p> </div></p> </p> I don't know what to believe, but Net Income insists that the europeans don't lie about such things and that Boki is listed at 6'9"by his national team.</p> </div></p> Metric measurements are indeed more precise. Boki is listed at 2.07 meters by FIBA. That works out to 6 feet, 9.47 inches. So Boki is 6' 9 1/2" tall, or a half inch shorter than his doppleganger (that's German), Keith Van Horn.</p> Since Sean Williams opted out of the NBA Pre-Draft camp in Orlando, he was never measured officially by the NBA...and college heights, on which a lot of NBA heights are based, are notoriously inflated. BC listed him at 6' 10" and so do the Nets. I suspect we are talking about 6' 9"ish. RJ has said he's an inch taller than him but RJ may have exaggerated since he was trying to make a point about his leaping ability. Wingspan, again not verified at Pre-Draft camp, has been listed at 7' 5", or the same as Durant and Oden's...but those two were measured at Pre-Draft camp.</p> This has made me tired.</p> </p> </p> </p>

Garnett is also bigger and longer then Bosh, who is in turn bigger and longer than Williams. I'm not saying Sean should put on 30 pounds, but Amare is 145 and that doesn't seem to have hurt his athletic ability or quickness much. Sean was getting mauled by Pau last night.</p>

Sean has muscletone like Spiderman and you want the Venom suit. Almost all of his shortcommings this year won't have anything to do with his weight; rather his "Rookness". Maybe west coast fatigue? Anyway, I'll just have agree to disagree with you. I think to get into this much more, you have to understand muscles. Sean has very low bodyfat, and this means that his muscle fibre has formed layers (over years)with miniscule fat deposits. Lean muscle tends to have "wirey" type strength and responds quickly to nerve impulses. Sean's high quality muscle fibre is dense, giving him more strength (muscle contraction across and beyond the specific point of stress) than others near his size, his build is also efficient and best suited for his frame. Sean just needs to "grow into" his body rather than "get a body".</p> </p>
